Commentator Vu Quang Huy: 'Coach Miura is just average'

U23 Vietnam lost to U23 Jordan in a match where our team showed nothing but determination to compete, which is why commentator Quang Huy expressed his disappointment with coach Toshiya Miura's tactics and team formation.

Mr. Huy said: “There is no new mark from Coach Miura. It is still the passive defensive style of play, playing long balls in a lucky way that makes the audience extremely frustrated.

On the other hand, the Japanese coach's formation in this match also proved quite confusing. U23 Vietnam played with a 4-4-2 formation, surprisingly, Mr. Miura pushed Huu Dung, a central midfielder, to play on the wing.

In this match, Huu Dung played badly because he had to play in a position that was not his forte. Only when Hong Duy replaced Huu Dung did the attack on the left wing of U23 Vietnam start to improve. Honestly, I was very confused and had no impression at all.

Continuing to analyze the game of U23 Vietnam, commentator Quang Huy emphasized: "In this match, U23 Vietnam only showed good determination to compete, while we were completely inferior to our opponent in many aspects. The most expected striker, Nguyen Cong Phuong, was always closely followed, and it seemed that the opposing team's defenders understood very well every move of the player wearing the number 10 shirt.

When the central area was blocked, we had to attack the flanks, but Miura's personnel arrangement on both wings made it easy for U23 Vietnam to be neutralized. Obviously, Huu Dung and Van Toan could not play well when pushed to the flanks, Hong Duy should have started and there should have been a good winger too.

Coach Miura cannot experiment in an official match like this, but he disappointed me'.

Disappointed with what the Japanese strategist showed in the match against U23 Jordan, commentator Vu Quang Huy did not hesitate to say: "It's true that coach Miura is just average."

Mr. Huy added: “As I analyzed before the tournament, I do not put my hope in the success of U23 Vietnam, I just hope our players will play well and lose with their heads held high.

In the remaining 2 matches, in theory, both U23 UAE and U23 Australia are considered stronger than U23 Jordan, so our team's chances of winning are even narrower. And frankly speaking, Coach Miura will find it difficult to make a difference for U23 Vietnam in the remaining 2 matches.

Although disappointed with the loss of U23 Vietnam in the opening match, commentator Quang Huy still expressed satisfaction with the performance of some individuals.

Mr. Huy said: “Duy Manh showed maturity in the midfield, he played better than Xuan Truong. In defense, central defender Bui Tien Dung also showed solidity, and in attack, striker Thanh Binh was a quite outstanding player.”

Commenting on the opponent U23 Jordan, commentator Quang Huy said: "The other team has superior physical strength, but there are still times when they lose focus, it's just that we failed to exploit this weakness of theirs."

“West Asian teams often play like that, we know that in advance, but clearly in this match, coach Miura did not show any reasonableness in holding the table. Honestly, no player can play well if playing in a position other than his main position,” commentator Quang Huy emphasized.
